As you all know, Stephanie Meyer owns it all, I own nothing!

I couldn't believe it, her father was in a coma and she didn't tell a soul!

That was the only thought going through my head, while Bella was sobbing her heart out into my shirt. So, I simply held her and rocked her while she cried. When her tears subsided into soft little sniffles and when she was much calmer, I began thinking about other things. I remembered that she had told me her mother had died in a car accident. I thought then that she would be suffering from such a painful loss and then I thought of her father again. What if her father had been in the accident too and had fallen in to a coma, what if her mother had died while he was in the coma and he never knew his wife was dead. It would be hard enough losing one parent but what if her father dies too, how would she cope. Sometimes life was just not fair at all.

Although her father was still alive, he was barely so, there was no way of knowing if he would awaken from the coma. Poor, poor Bella. I held her tighter just thinking about what she has gone through and what she was about to go through.

Then anger hit me, although I tried not to convey my feelings to her. My anger was directed at all of the other kids who had tortured her all this time, myself included. I felt so bad, so guilty, she must have been going through hell and not a soul knew. She was good at hiding her feelings was Bella.

Perhaps if all the other kids knew what was going on in her life they would not have treated her so badly, but then they might have just made a joke of it all. Some kids were really sick and the ones in our school were no different.

From the short time I have gotten to know Bella I realised that she was such a sweet and kind person and could not understand why someone like her would have to go through this. God, why not me, why not some of those brats at school. Each and everyone of us had treated her badly, and we had all done some pretty bad things to her. I myself had done some pretty bad things in my life but I don't think I would ever have been this callous to someone if I had known.

Now I knew why Esme and Carlisle always told us not to be cruel to other people because you never really knew what was going on behind closed doors. But, then again, would anyone care if they knew, I would like to hope that they would care.

I heard her sigh softly, such a small gentle sound but filled with with grief and tears. My response was to hold her closer and I wouldn't make her talk unless she wanted to. I would never make her do anything she didn't want to, ever again. We must have sat there for over an hour, sitting quietly in silence. I held her close to me and she seemed quite content with that. Probably quite happy to be with someone, even it it was someone who had hurt her before.

I wondered if she wanted me to leave her alone, maybe she was angry that I barged in here and invaded her precious time with her father. Maybe she did not want anyone to know about this. I wouldn't know the answer to that until she decided to talk to me and I would wait until she was ready. I was not going anywhere until she told me otherwise. Only then would I go and only then would I do whatever she wanted.

Yes, I have only known her really for a short space of time and if she did not want me there then I know it would hurt me but my hurting was not the issue. She had been hurt enough and my main consideration was that she was not hurt again.

"Uhhhhhh" her voice sounded breathless and almost as if she didn't know what quite to say.

"Stupid man, of course she doesn't know what to say! You found her in here talking to her father, he is in a coma and you just grabbed her and held her while she cried for about forty-five minutes!"

I let her know that I had heard her and looked down at her tear stained face. She cleared her throat and pulled away a little. "Er….um,,,,,Hi,…..em , you found me sitting her like a stupid fool talking to my father who is in a co..ma, who cannot even hear me!".

Her voice broke on the word coma. "and..then….then y…y..you just h..h..old me while I s..s..sob all over your shirt! So, why don't you run back to the school and tell the oth…others of y..your new found dis…covery?" and her voice broke again. I was hurt, did she actually think so little of me that I would do that? Well, maybe she could be forgiven for thinking that, I have not been the best friend to her!

I gently put my hand under her chin and tilted her head up to look at me. "I would never do that to you, Bella, I can assure you, I will be here for you whenever you want me to be here, for you and for your father". I looked at her and I truly hoped she could tell by the way I was looking at her that I really meant it. I continued to try and convince her "I promise you Bella, I will not let them hurt you, never again. Not even if it kills me." I had lowered the tone of my voice which even to my own ears sounded soft.

My only hope now was that she would be able to learn to trust me enough to believe me and let me help her. I would make sure that no one would ever hurt her again, if it was the last thing I ever did.

Alright. Sooo, this is just a filler-type thing. Give me a break, please. I just went to the hospital and had to get blood drawn. Which, I actually fainted from. Twice. And now, I`m feeling light headed and dizzy. So, if it doesn`t make much sense, Sorry.

And, well, if any of you actually read the note at the top, where it says I`m writing three hours after, I was. In the beginning But, I kinda stopped there. Probably why it's not all flow-y.

REVIEW! It will make me update faster(; **Hmmmmm, where have you heard that before?**

P.S: Sorry it's short. Like I said, it's just a filler.
